Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company.

Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless.
